The paper is acid-free, so you can be certain your works will last. The texture holds acrylic paint well, and the paper is thick enough to ensure that paint won't bleed through.
Also, can acrylic paint be used on paper?
As long as you've chosen a high quality, acid-free paper, you can paint acrylic directly onto the surface of the paper and be assured that your painting will be of archival quality. When painting with acrylic you do not need to prime the paper first since the paint, a plastic polymer, will not damage the paper.
Likewise, do I need to stretch paper for acrylic painting? You don't have to stretch the acrylic papers that I mention in this post. You can begin painting on them without any preparation because they're extra thick and contain enough sizing to prevent the paper from buckling.
One may also ask, how do you prepare acrylic paint for paper?
Acrylic painting can be done on canvasses or paper prepared with primer. Gesso is a primer made with plaster of paris commonly used to treat canvasses and heavy paper for painting. Preparing paper with primer provides a smooth, nonabsorbent surface to paint on. Masking tape borders ensure the paper dries flat.
